mmr jab and austim

the major

i cant help but wonder if austim is just a side affect of the mmr jab i dont think it is but can anyone help by proving my right that austim is not just a side affect of the mmr jab?

  • I am not sure it is as easy as that.  Obviously the MMR does not cause Autism in all people the same as everyone who eats beef does not get BSE.  I think there are probably certain children with underlying conditions that would react badly to the MMR.

    We decided not to give Luke the MMR because he had food allergies and intolerances.  After a lot of research we decided that children with any gut problems were more likely to react badly to the MMR.  There are lots of children with no such issues who would be perfectly fine having the MMR.

    My opinion (and it is only my opinion) is that each child should be looked at individually and if there are any underlying reasons why they may react to the MMR they should be offered the single jabs.  If they are perfectly fit and healthy there should be no reason why they should not have the MMR.  It's about weighing up the risks.

    As it turns out Luke has autism although he is high functioning.  Maybe if he had had the MMR his would not be high funtioning but further along the low functioning end of the scale or maybe it would not have made any difference at all, who knows.
